Morgan Molthrop fell in love with Greek history at Newman (high school) and has parlayed that love into a model for his – and your -life.

Morgan’s hero, Alexander the Great – who is actually a Greek superhero who died in 323 BC at the age of 33 not a Russian Tsar – is the inspiration for just about everything in Morgan’s current life. He’s written a book about him, painted paintings, and has a 13 step plan for successful living for you to follow so you too can be Alex great.

Boyanna Trayanova went to Ben Franklin. She didn’t fall in love with any Greek gods but she did fall in love with the seminal New Orleans drummer Johnny Vidacovich. Boyanna is a fearsome drummer and leader of One Love Brass Band, a New Orleans brass band take on ska and reggae. 

Renee Blanchard started out after college working to bring democracy to Burma, and to get toxic chemicals out of cell phones. Having succeeded at both of those goals she came back to New Orleans. And opened Church Alley Coffee Bar on Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. Now she’s moving to Mid City and might possibly get that magnolia tattoo on her shoulder finished. Renee is, by the way, bossy.
